I just killed About Six Rabbits!!!

cozumel · Nov 24, 2007, 01:16 PM

Driving my friends car when mom plus a line of about 5 little ones trailing behind ran out in front of me. Tried to swerve but got the whole family. Little buggers! Went back to check if any were still alive as I would have finished them off rather than leave them there but they were all totally squished.

I have been in a similar situation in the past but with a little difference.

As i was driving down the road i noticed a squirrel run straight out from some bushes along side the road,which was a dual carriageway so the odds on it making the other side alive was already pretty slim.It was heading straight in line with the car in front of me.Unfortunately for the squirrel it clipped one of the tires of the car nose first.It was a horrible sight to see it wriggling around in agony.With it being wild and had some time to react i truly felt the best option was to end it's pain and it's life by following on from the car in front..

Even though it was for the best i actually felt sorry for the rodent,as i love animals & wildlife in general.

I'll quickly google some rabbit recipes and head back on the road to get me some dinner. Ooh that makes me a rabbit hunter. You can call me Elmer Fudd. Them pesky rabbits.

@MIG-31: I love animals too. I actually get quite moved and feel sad when something likes this happens.

I had a buddy (and he tells the story better) who was driving one day when a line of ducks happened to cross his path. He stopped to let them go on, but they just stayed in the road. Other cars started pulling up and soon the road was blocked and the ducks continued to stay where they were. WEll, my friend though "they'll move...", so he started creeping up very slowly, when "bump" the wheel of his car hit the young family, then "bump", the back wheel. My friend, totally mortified, looked up at the car next to his to see the horrified face of an eight year old girl, tears streaming down it...

I think the UK is just one big Warren with rabbits everywhere...They are Natures Nacho's so dont sweat it.

I once had similar issues with "Swedish cows". You might know them as moose or elk. The mom and the baby were crossing road in the lake side and they froze in front of me. And I managed to avoid hitting them but it was close call.

YAYitsAndrew · Nov 24, 2007, 07:45 PM

My gf moved into her new apt and there was some mice, so her roommate set up one of those glue traps. I got a call one day from my gf in tears because there was a mouse stuck to the trap wriggling and wining. I ended up going over there, placing a paper towel over the mouse, and finishing it off with some gentle hammer blows to the head.

I learned a lot about myself that day because it took me a long time to compose myself to where I needed to be to whack this thing with a hammer.

It was a bad day and I'm glad I have cats to deal with any mouse problems that should ever occur in my apt. I also set up her apt with humane traps so that the mice die instantly instead of being tortured on a glue pad.

^ ^ ^ But why were you and your friends creeping round YAYitsAndrew's girlrfriend's appartment? Huh? Answer that rodent-boy.....You deserve to be glue-trapped and tortured slowly...

RoyBatty · Nov 24, 2007, 08:03 PM

I nearly ran over a duck family during one of my driving school lessons. They survived thanks to my intructor who hit the brake because in a panic I wanted to hit the gas pedal instead...

Cats can be very "inhuman" towards mice too. I saw my cat playing with a mouse - she somehow managed to disable the tail part of the mouse, so it was dragging its body around using just front legs. The cat was amused

if it's small animals, it's always best to just run over the animal. it's best to kill a small animal than to cause a car accident. now, if it's a larger animal, like a dog for example, then, that would be different...

cozumel · Nov 25, 2007, 06:47 AM

I just remembered that scene from Goodfellas when they go back to (I think) Joe Pesci's mothers house for shovels to bury one of the 'made' mafia men. They tell her a story how they hit a moose and hoof got stuck in the hood and they had to go bury it. Funny, funny scene.

Dark Lord · Nov 25, 2007, 07:02 AM

only thing ive hit so far is a chipmunk. little bastard ran out right in front of me...

the worst so far has been a damn squirrel i almost nailed when i was in the vette. damn thing runs out and stands up on his hind legs right in front of me. i slam on the brakes and he goes and runs back and forth in the middle of the road a couple times.

if i hit him, i would have cracked my head light covers (40 year old plastic, their pretty brittle and expensive as hell to replace) and probably cracked the fiberglass.

i seem to play chicken with the hawks around here more often then i care to. damn things come down low and fly head on at me. thankfully they all pull up before they hit my windshield.

that reminds me of the one GEICO commercial where there are two chipmunks running out to the road when a car is passing by, and in order to avoid the chipmunks the car ends up swirving out of the way. the car then loses control and ends up crashing

Tinkerhell · Nov 28, 2007, 04:48 PM

Yep. That's my company. Gid a great job with the squirrel commercial & the whole gecko thing. The caveman can rot. Never liked those. *bley*

I've hit dogs, cats, squirrels, turkeys, turtles (mostly I try to stop & save these), deer, opposums, armadillos... lots of suicidal wildlife around me. :/

My mate ran over a raindeer once, antlers dragging along the bottom of the car & everything. he stopped to see if it was alive but the car behind him finished it off! That totally killed off the conversation in the car!

Me & some college mates caused the death of 2 seagulls once. We used to toss em fries to eat & they followed us to a busy road & one of my mates threw a sandwich into middle of the road & 3 seagulls pounced on it. A college lecturer was driving towards em & one flew off, the other two went under the car, one died instantly & the other snapped its neck at the base & was still alive with its head hanging limply halfway down its back between its wings & it was flapping about doing cartwheels in the middle of the road!

I can still picture it! Horrible sight! We went off our food & had to dump it in the bin.

Mate who threw the sandwich got labelled Seagull Slayer after that & we used to wind him up all the time.
